“The First Command!”

 

Purpose: to correct misunderstanding, and exalt the truth of Christ’s Great Commission

 

  1. “The First Command!”
         The Great Commission of Jesus Christ X 5!
              Matthew 28:18-20
              Mark 16:15
              Luke 24:44-47
              John 20:21
              Acts 1:8
         What makes these 5 Great Commission statements the “First” Command?

 

 

 

 

  1. Correcting the Misunderstanding  
         Matthew 28 Correctly Understood
         The Great Commission begins with v. 18 “All authority…”
         “Go” means “Go”
         The command is to “make disciples” baptizing and teaching
         The receiver of Christ’s Command is the Church
         The object of Christ’s command is “of all the nations”!
         The promise is Christ’s presence!

 

 

 

 

  1. Paul’s Understanding of the Great Commission in Covenant   
         Gal 3:8; Gen 12:1-3

 

 

 

 

  1. God’s End-Vision of the Great Commission  
         Rev 7:9-10

 

 

 

 

 

All of Scripture is about Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection for the salvation of repentant
believers from every nation, tribe, and tongue.
